    Uh huh. Not to mention the obvious fact, but the pictures it takes are terrible, and it is still strapped to a PC...Interesting idea though. But the money savings to me is not worth it. FWIW, I just bought a Panasonic PD-4090 from eBay for $170. This camera rocks!

    But the thing is, you have to take in to account that it was built ~1998.
